She's a superstar. She's a soldier. One night at a bar was all it took to change everything.
⸻
Hailee Steinfeld never expected the woman behind the bar at Sophie's birthday to change her life.
Fallon Knox wasn't just another stranger with a sharp smile and a guarded heart - she was a U.S. Army Ranger with nothing to lose.
One night became something more.
Letters. Late-night calls. A love too dangerous to name.
But when deployment orders rip Fallon away, distance isn't the only thing between them. Hailee is left in L.A., forced to watch as headlines whisper of firefights overseas... while Fallon fights to keep her unit alive, armed only with grit, scars, and the voice recordings Hailee left behind.
Love was supposed to be enough.
But war doesn't play fair.
Fallon can't promise she'll make it home - only that she'll die trying.

Quick note before we dive in: this story takes place around the time Hailee was filming Hawkeye. The timelines might not be 100% accurate with her work - I've shifted things around to fit what works best in this little made-up world. I also don't own anything Marvel-related; that all belongs to them. But everything else in this story - Fallon, her journey, their world together - that's mine.
This book is about love, survival, healing, and the messy, beautiful reality of fighting for both yourself and the people you can't imagine living without. It won't always be easy, but I promise it'll be worth it.
